Prepare Your Students for the Next Steps in Their Legal Education
This 8-week self-paced online course teaches basic legal reading and analysis skills and can be customized to fit undergraduate schools' needs. The exam includes 80 questions and an ungraded essay. Your school can choose between a non-high stakes test or the official JD-Next law school admissions entrance examination. The official exam is only available at scheduled times, while the non-high stakes test can be taken at any time.
How Will Law Schools Use JD-Next?
We believe the more tools and data points available to admissions offices, the better for applicants.
JD-Next promotes equity by improving readiness and confidence for ALL law school candidates.
Why recommend JD-Next to your students?
For law schools, JD-Next can be used as an alternative or supplemental admissions pathway in lieu of or in addition to the existing legacy admissions exams already in use.
Law schools can use the JD-Next program for admissions. In addition, your students examination results can be used to:
- Select a more diverse class of students
- Assist in selecting students from their waitlist
- Serve as a plus factor for students who are on the cusp of being admitted that you do not want to waitlist
- Assist in identifying students who might need additional academic support
- Signal to students areas for self-improvement
- Help make financial award decisions
